Bricks and Benches


Bricks

Purchase a ZooLoop Brick, and create your own legacy at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.

Engraved with your message, your ZooLoop Brick will become a permanent part of the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, and your donation will go toward Zoo improvements and new exhibits. Use your ZooLoop Brick to honor a friend or family member, as a gift, or to show the Zoo community how much you care.

Commemorative Benches

Dedicate a bench in one of our seating areas along the Zoo Loop, our main circulation path.  A permanent recognition plaque will be mounted on your bench.  The cost to sponsor a bench is between $1,000 and $1,500, depending on the size and location.  What a great way to show your support for the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and at the same time, honor or make a lasting memorial to a loved one.

Wild Tiles

The Wild Tiles program is a fundraising campaign that will benefit the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and its conservation efforts.  Each $75 donation will give the donor (or the donor’s child/grandchild, etc.) the ability to design his or her own 4”x 4” ceramic tile. Once your artwork is digitally laser-printed on the tile, it will be permanently placed on the wall of our Discovery Center in the Play Park.  Please read all of the artwork guidelines.  When you are ready to create your artwork, please click on the link below to print copies of the blank template on which you will draw your design.

Download application and template.

Artwork Guidelines:

  • Please keep your artwork zoo/ animal related, e.g. your favorite animal.
  • We recommend that you use felt-tip markers (e.g. Crayola, Sharpie).  Please read all directions on the template page.
  • If you want, you may write your name on your artwork.
  • Please be careful on your final template. Any markings on your template paper will appear on your tile.
  • IMPORTANT: Please do not bend or fold your artwork; you will need to mail your artwork flat.
  • Once you have completed your artwork, please mail it back to us, along with your donation.
  • Your tile will be ready for viewing 6-8 weeks after we receive your template. We will contact you so that you will know when you can come and see your artwork!

If you have any questions please e-mail (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or call (904) 757-4463, ext. 196. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your work!
